A dynamic econometric model of Nigeria’s rice market was designed to serve as a base for future policy analyses. Using time-series data spanning 38 years, the contains four structural equations representing paddy area harvested, yield, per capita demand, and producer price variables. Estimates these were obtained using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration approach. Results produc...

This paper investigates the behaviour of Indian aggregate imports during the period 1971-1995. In our empirical analysis of the aggregate import demand function for India, cointegration and error correction modelling approaches have been used. In the aggregate import demand function for India, import volume is found to be cointegrated with relative import price and real GDP. Our econometric est...

Rice is an important staple food for nearly half the world’s population. In Malaysia, rice and paddy cultivation kickstarted in early 60s with small-scale farming, which later expanded by leaps bounds before emerging as country’s utmost crop. Over decades, Malaysian production system has been suffering from various challenges include extreme weather conditions, poor soil fertility nutrient mana...

We calculate the logarithmic contributions to the massive Wilson coefficients for deep-inelastic scattering in the asymptotic region Q2 m2 to 3-loop order in the fixed flavor number scheme and present the corresponding expressions for the massive operator matrix elements needed in the variable flavor number scheme. Explicit expressions are given in Mellin N -space.

TheChinese rice cultivarGuichao2 is a potentially valuable resource for breeding rice (Oryza sativa L.) with many valuable characteristics including upright leaves, prolific tillering ability, and high yields. The objectives of this study were to compare grain yields and yield components between Guichao2 and U.S. rice lines and to determine if the enzyme sucrose synthase was associated with the...

abstract this study uses gravity model to examine the most important determinants of was agricultural trade. to this aim, import and export statistics of iran agricultural products for the period 1380 to 1387 was provided from iran customs organization and other information was obtained from different internet bases. random effects estimating and hausman test ratio result in fixed effects model...

one of the most important duties of government in public health sector is to provide secured sources for medicines supply. there are some regulations for domestic pharmaceutical industry. in addition, there is a discipline for importing medicine to be ensured about their claimed characteristics. in medicines registration process, moh (fdo in iran) assess ‘safety’, ‘quality’ and ‘efficacy’ of me...

In this article, real exchange rate behavior and its effects on macroeconomic variables are studied by explaining two models; impulse function and forecasting predicted error decomposition. Studies show that high artificial currency value has caused domestic and foreign accounts equilibrium disturbance and foreign income decrease due to the slackening of commercial and agricultural activities, ...
